Answer 1

Please type in your problem first thing. Then, if you wish, ask, "anyone would like to help me with algebra 2?"

Answer 2

What is your question?

Answer 3

Answer 4

sorry i cant help you :'( never learned that or forgot it

Answer 5

okay

Answer 6

I assume that there are FOUR possible answer graphs, but you're sharing only one (now three).

Before helping you, I'd ask that you first try graphing simpler functions such as these:\[f(a)=\frac{ 1 }{ a^2 }, g(a)=\frac{ 1 }{ a^4 }\]
... to get an idea of how these functions behave.

Answer 7

Notice that both of these simpler functions are "even" functions, as is the given function.
What implications does that have when you're graphing these functions?

Answer 8

theres 4 now

Answer 9

right?

Answer 10

Yes.

Notice that both of these simpler functions are "even" functions, as is the given function.
What implications does that have when you're graphing these functions?

Answer 11

all at 0.5?

Answer 12

sorry, but I see no relevance of "all at 0.5?" to the problem at hand.

can you graph f(a)=a^2?

Answer 13

no

Answer 14

Have you any idea at all what the shape of the graph would be? This is a very common, basic function, one you could ideally graph.

Answer 15

vice versa?

Answer 16

Do you have a graphing calculator, and, if so, do you know how to graph functions with it?

Answer 17

im not getting helped

Answer 18

I am sorry you're not happy with this conversation, but at the same time I don't consider it my role to start you out from ground zero.

Answer 19

no

Answer 20

I'm not trying to make you feel bad, you understand, but I must tell you that you seem to lack the basic understanding of graphing necessary to do this problem you've posted here.
Are you home schooled? or taking an algebra course online? or what?

Answer 21

Look: I have given you the graph of y=x^2. The graph of the reciprocal of this function, \[f(x)=\frac{ 1 }{ x^2 }\] looks liike the following:
